Bridging the gap between the real and virtual
Virtual Production Services
Little Shadow blurs the line between the real and virtual for any type of production.
Virtual Production
Green Screen Hybrid
Hybrid Green Screen Virtual production combines live camera tracking and live green/blue screen keying to create an invaluable on-site tool.
Live camera tracking allows in camera virtual worlds.
Live keying allows for replacements of backgrounds in camera
Unreal Engine 5 allows for fully realised digital backgrounds that are, 3D, 2.5D or video
Virtual Production
LED Wall
LED wall virtual production uses LED screens as dynamic backdrops, and when combined with camera tracking, it creates vivid, realistic environments captured directly in-camera.
LED Walls provide ambient lighting that lights the subject in a natural way
The backgrounds are usually Unreal Engine based
Live tracking allows the virtual set to move with the camera
Virtual Production
Hybrid AR
Hybrid AR Virtual Production allows the placement of virtual objects and characters overlaid over the top of a live plate. This allows the production crew to see virtual objects in-camera, and combined with live camera tracking, it becomes a powerful tool on set.
Live camera tracking allows for real-time placement of objects on a live plate

Camera Tracking
Utilising sensors that can be mounted to any camera rig, we can track the camera in 3D space. We then feed this data live to our Unreal Engine 5 box that displays and composites a fully CG background.
Live Keying
We can live key any green or blue background on-site, enabling real-time compositing of background and foreground elements that can be viewed during the shoot.
Display and Record
Live composites are sent to comfort monitors for both talent and crew, allowing VFX and background elements to be displayed in real-time as they are filmed.
Augumented Reality
We can place objects, characters and creatures directly into live action scenes in real time. By utilising camera motion tracking and Unreal Engine 5, we can send a composite directly to the onset monitors. This allows for a better understanding of shot composition before integrating CG elements later on in post.
LED Volume
LED volumes have the advantage of casting beautiful lighting onto the subject, as well as providing realistic reflections and refractions through transparent objects. We can provide the necessary kit to be used on an LED volume, such as our SHADOW BOX PRO(tm).
